Speak for the Unspoken

Jenna is an extraordinary young lady who is a senior at Bryant High School, and a member ofthe FCCLA (Family, Career, andCommunity Leaders of America). She will be graduating in May. Jenna is a special needs aid at Bryant and an advocate for her kids. She has fought her way through district and state competitions, winning GOLD each time. Now, in July, she will beon her way to Washington, DC to compete on the national level for these kids. Jenna is battling for these amazing young people, present and future, to have theability to b involved an welcomed into more school activities and functions. Most times, these children are left by the wayside because they are not seen as "normal"; this is hardly the case.

Jenna sees these kids just as they are, wonderful, amazing, talented people who deserve the right to be as involved in all aspects of school and social areas as everyone else.These kids are a major part of her life. She's an aide for them everyday, she's chaperoned dances and events, always going out of her way to make them feel loved, welcomed and "normal".She knows that if she can get them more involved and welcomed thateveryone else could learn a lot from them; how to have an open mind, how to love with all you have, how to appreciate everyone no matter differences. It only takes one person to make a big difference in the lives of others, and Jenna is trying and has the abilityto change the lives of so many.

Please, join me in supporting Jenna and her journey. Not only will you be supporting Jenna, you will be supporting "special needs" children everywhere. Speak for the Unspoken and be a part of something beautiful!
